A Rusty Wall Pocket that's a Total Gas!

With all the snow we've been having, I needed some flowers to make me think of spring!

Some of my supplies, the gas can cover, beads, wire, and a glass that will serve as a vase insert. My cat Jazzy was so curious as to what I was up to, she wouldn't get out of the picture. That Darn Cat! Wait....isn't that a movie? Ha!

With the wire and beads I created a flower that will serve as an embellishment.

Wa-la!

Have you ever tried these Hercules Hooks? Love!! They'll be perfect to hold this rather heavy piece.

The pre-made holes on this piece will be perfect to hang it.

Just an old Ikea glass was used as a vase insert.

Love the colors of these flowers....a present from my hubby on this snowy winter day.

And there ya be. From gas can cover to wall pocket.

My chalkboard wall is starting to take shape with some added accessories.

This old metal whatchamacallit will work great for an additional message holder. Lookie here...an upcoming event!

I had to share this fun vintage card I recently purchased. They had almost every town in MN. After a little digging (okay maybe a lot), I was able to find a neighboring town.

With all the snow we've been having, I needed some flowers to make me think of spring!

Well actually in it's former life I was told it was some type of gas can cover. But with it's perfect patina and pre-made holes, a wall pocket was a perfect reuse! And my chalkboard wall off the kitchen was in need of some additional accessories.....

I hope this will put a little "spring" in your step this dreary Monday morning...ha! It was one I originally did on February 22nd, 2011. And I know we are ALL anxious for a little warmer weather to be upon us...especially those of us here in Minnesota!!! Happy Spring!
